Don't worry, this is the proper mailing list for bug reports.

No, looks like someone is feeding a bad pointer to slab. The debug
check is relatively new and in previous kernels the problem would
might have gone unnoticed causing silent corruption of the slab.

has been run through ksymoops, people will just tell you to repost it."

So, can you please repost the original oops? Also, please enable
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB  and try to reproduce. Thanks.
